I don’t really like a lot of things about Bezos but $1.25 million is still a very good thing. I never understood the “$1.25 million from billionaires is like $5 from us” crowd. okay well it’s still $1.25 million more than he had to give. And by the way, how much did you give?

He's also supposed to give money by paying taxes, so I'd say 1.25 million is a bit low when you look at it that way. I'm glad they're getting the money, but I'd rather these billionaires just pay their fair share. We shouldn't have to rely on the mega-wealthy being "generous", when there is a system in place that requires them to pay, and they're simply not doing it.

He's paying exactly what is required of him by law, same as you.

I used pictures in my last comment to make it easier for folks like you to understand, but I guess it needs more simplification.

I'd say that he employs more than you do, pay more taxes that you do and give more to charity than you do!!

So ,there is that, komrad!!!
